Pros

Pay is generally below market, company has high attrition rate, and enterprise-wide initiatives are not executed well.

Cons

Company has an extremely high debt load (22 billion plus) that it keeps refinancing at high interest rates (currently 10.6 percent). Current CEO led the team that created what's considered the worst merger in the history of American business (Time-Warner/AOL). Reductions in workforce have happened at least semi-annually over the past several years, as the company finds ways to contract essential services out so that OIBDAN seems strong. The company has become quite effective at hiding these RIFs. Advancement opportunities are limited.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
